Which of the following types of carbon fixation is least common for plants in arid locations?
a.
c3
b.
c4
c.
cam
d.
none of the above

Answer;

C3

C3 is the type of carbon fixation that is least common for plants in arid locations.

Explanation;

-C3 photosynthesis is among the the three metabolic pathways for carbon fixation by plants. It is found in plants which use only the Calvin cycle for fixing the carbon dioxide from the air.

-During the C3 carbon fixation, an enzyme called RuBisCO helps the carbon dioxide combine with sugar. Consequently, the sugar and carbon dioxide generate a molecule with three carbon atoms (C3) in the chloroplast.

-C3 type of carbon fixation occurs mostly in cooler, wetter, and cloudier environment, unlike C4 fixation which occurs in bright, dry, and warm places, such as arid locations or desert areas.

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus.

this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells. calcium carbonate is strengthened by phosphorus.

explanation:

answer; the correct answer is desert plants;
